John
Yoo, the former attorney with the Bush-era Office of Legal Counsel who
suggested the president could order a child's testicles crushed, massacre a village of civilians or unilaterally suspend free speech
in the event of a terrorist attack, also fears for the future of the
republic if the president is able to bypass Senate procedural gimmicks
meant to block recess appointments. At National Review, Yoo attacks Obama for his "abuse" of executive power in appointing Richard Cordray to head the CFPB.

But just in case it wasn't already clear that he's the wrong person to accuse anyone of abuse of power, Yoo offers a reminder, writing that future Republican presidents should ignore Supreme Court decisions they don't like:

Borrowing
from the wisdom of George Costanza, a Republican president should say
to the courts: It's not you, it's me. Instead of tinkering with the
judiciary, conservatives should seek to restore the role of the
presidency by using its unique powers to define the Constitution. A
Republican president, for example, could order prosecutors to stop
enforcing unconstitutional laws that violate federalism, separation of
powers, or individual rights. [...]

Under
rare circumstances, a Republican president could even refuse to obey a
Supreme Court decision. ... Of course, presidents should make clear that
this extreme measure would be taken only in times of the direst
emergency.

To
sum up: John Yoo thinks presidents should be able to order the crushing
of a child's testicles and ignore Supreme Court decisions, but it's an
abuse of power to conclude that when senators are not in town and the Senate
isn't conducting business, the Senate is in recess.
